hmm, considering that Genocide is the killing off of a whole class of people, I'm gonna go with yes. Federal offense and probably much, much more.

Genocide is mass murder. Murder is a federal offense. So, genocide is a federal offense.

since its almost always "federally" backed, i guess no .... its an interesting factoid that almost every instance of genocide in the past hundred or so years has been accompanied by a national ID card which allows the perpetrators to easily pick out their targets by race/creed/religeon/political affiliation .... isnt it just great we will be getting one of those in 2008?

I believe it is an international offense. Thats why people from multiple countries can get tried with it. (Nazi's, Saddam Husein)
